Answer:
Growth and development are rapid during teenage years, and the demand for most nutrients is relatively high.
National survey data show adolescents’ intakes of saturated fatty acids, salt and non-milk extrinsic sugars (added sugars) are above recommended levels.
A proportion of teenagers (especially girls) have low intakes of some vitamins and minerals (in particular vitamin A, iron, calcium, zinc and iodine).
Overweight and obesity are prevalent in British adolescents. For example, in 2013 in England, 34% of boys and 39% of girls aged 13-15 years were overweight or obese.
It is recommended that young people should do at least 60 minutes of activity of moderate intensity every day. Only 14% of boys and 8% of girls aged 13-15 years are meeting these guidelines.
hope it helps ☺️
